Daily musings from a female Pennsylvania artist. Covering topics such as how pieces are created, what things mean, how does art enter the public viewing arena and other such arty and worldly things. Since this is a personal blog I will also write a bit about gardening, being vegan, hiking, reading and just about anything that comes up.

Breaks from the easel offer opportunity to be creative in unique ways.

Cooking is one way; a bit of science, bit of art and food. A potentially inspiring source of creaivity. Today I attempted a vegan version of nacho cheese for an open faced tortilla, combined with lentil and black bean dal and salsa. Worked better than I expected-results will be repeated again.

Some time was spent creating a faux fur coat lined with cotton printed with "hippie-style" mushrooms and flowers for a miniature Pinscher friend.

Finally for the photo of the month group I belong to on Flickr I took out my new camera and shot some pictures of ice. Nothing remarkable just me getting used to my camera.
